[sm=welcomesign.gif] Tony,

I use to ride a 76 FLH for years. We will help with what we can but you are getting into an area where some dealers won't even handle parts for anymore.

If it still runs, you got a great deal. What kind of shape is it in?

yeah it runs great the guy invested somethin like 1500 or more in performance engine work and you can tell, but he lost his job and some of the wiring went bad and it stopped running, so he let it sit up for about 15 yrs and i got it, Brought it to a guy that does really good work on harleys and he got it back in shape for 300, aslo i just rebuilt the tranny so it should be fine. Things ive done to it so far are drag pipes and bars with risers, i got an arlen ness rear mag, 21" twisted spoke front, got the air dam piece for the front that goes on the fram not sure what its called but its like a scoop, also got a gunfighter seat but it doesnt fit so i have to find another one thats the right year this time. Things that need to be done are the tach and speedo broke off the bars and messed up the paint on the tank, powder coat the primary cover " just until i can save enough for a belt primary" find a small speedo, and thats about it. but yeah im gonna be full of questions
